Responsibility Message

EDE ONLINE advocates responsible consumption. Drink responsibly. Maintain a balanced diet. Consider that smoke has an intoxicating effect on your body and may be dangerous to those around you. Eating, drinking and/or smoking in excess may lead to disease or even death. The premise of this website is to savour tastes and experiences. When you overindulge you lose enjoyment and appreciation. If you’re having difficulty maintaining balance, we recommend you seek advice from a medical physician or a support group. We’re all adults. Be responsible and enjoy life’s finer pleasures without taking it to dangerous extremes. Balance is key.
